It does look on the face of it that the Govt are 'pushing' the burden of housing onto the PRS. Longer tenancies, no section 21 just means longer to remain in a property when things go wrong, leaving the landlord to pick up the financial burden. I like the Australian model of 14 days or you are out (Paul Barrett). When I was collecting rent, it was important to make the tenant realise that the rent was the most important expense in a month, not the Sky subscription. Landlords use the Section 21 because it is a 'no fault'. That doesn't mean there isn't a fault, it is just quicker and easier than a Section 8, because it has a guaranteed outcome. I always coached my landlord clients to NOT mention any reason for a section 21 when conversing with tenants even though both sides knew the reason. It just gave the Council or the Court an excuse to delay the possession order. If they manage to come up with a better (i.e. quicker?) way of ejecting problem tenants then fine. But stop expecting the PRS to pick up the pieces.
